Pre-Vocational Anaesthetics & Critical Care Society (PVACCS) is a new organisation for medical students and junior doctors in the fields of anaesthetics, intensive care, and pain medicine.
PVACCS aims to supplement medical school teaching curriculums and to address the gap between finishing medical school and starting specialist training.
PVACCS intends to inspire and support our members in pursuing a career in critical care and pain medicine through providing educational resources, clinical workshops, and career information.
PVACCS facilitates an inclusive environment that provides a supportive and kind community to our members.
